The index value is an alternative form of the yield. Yesterdays close was 50.36 which corresponds to a yield of 5.036%

Where Can I find the Bid/Ask historical data for 3 Months T-Bills?

We Answered:

Oddly enough, the Treasury Department's Bureau of Public Debt (www.publicdebt .treas.gov) lets you set up an account to buy bonds directly over the Web, but it doesn't list prices.

For more in-depth stats (including volume and bid/ask prices), as well as historical pricing data, head to GovPX.com, the Treasuries site of the Bond Market Association. Twice-daily updates by Stone & McCarthy Research, a bond-tracking firm, add context to the raw stats.

Briefing.com's free thrice-daily bond market reports (www.briefing.com/intro/i_bonds.htm) take a sophisticated look at Treasuries, examining interest and currency rates as well as broad bond movements.

Where to Find Historical US Treasury Bonds ' Prices?

I assume you do not want the actual bond prices. You probably want the Yield-to-Maturity of various Treasuries. YTM in easy terms, is basically the interest rate of the bond.

Go to the Federal Reserve website here:

And here for historical interest rate data:

Just note that the historical data are constant maturity Treasuries and not always the actual bond YTMs.

Bond Yield Rates: US vs Australia?

We Answered:

You need to put Australian bond rates into the context of an economy that didn't go into recession during the Global Financial Crisis plus a current Australian Reserve Bank cash (US equivalent is US Fed funds rate) Interest rate of 4.25% (moderate by historical standards). We went into the GFC with the Government in surplus and national debt at a fraction of US debt. The economy went into deficit to pay for financial stimulus measures but Government debt is still small compared to that of the US.
